'Go to' Guy?
Matthew
Guy, the Victorian state government Minister for Planning has floated a
new and controversial 'Melbourne Plan' which radically changes the
proposed urban boundaries of greater Melbourne, de-regulates hi-rise
developments in current 'heritage' areas and, envisages development of
numerous regional towns as new industrial and population centres. This
follows their 2010 tearing-up of a decades old master urban development
plan originally devised by a previous Liberal government and,
religiously adhered to by all succeeding administrations regardless of
political bent.
The immediate reaction of planning academics has
been couched in terms like fraudulent, hoax, developer-driven,
irrelevant, vacuous etc. so, how it fares being implemented in the
coming state election year is conjectural at best.
